This guy was making the point that every inch of the white house and surroundings should be monitored with sensors and cameras. Hell, the typical mall has more cameras with people watching, same for casinos where they scrutinize every player.
You would think we could do the same for the white house.

I sometimes think the Keystone Kops would be a step up, the way the Secret Service has been behaving of late....

Maybe I should've included a sarcasm tag, but I figured it wasn't necessary. I don't think people realize a security system doesn't usually effect windows. My dad has ADT & all they did is broke out the bathroom window, the alarm didn't sound until they hit the hallway & the motion sensor caught them.

Towards the end he finally threw a few grey hairs in there...not nearly enough, though! Perhaps when he upgraded, the Squirrel Was Passed to a New Generation of GOP Obstructionists....?

Ya gotta see the humor in this situation, because if ya don't laugh, you'll cry!
